Acupuncture surprised me. I'm not the "chi" or "zen" kind of guy so as cliche as this sounds I was skeptical. I trusted western medicine because that's all I've been around as far back as I can remember. A few home remedies here and there but that always ended in me just going to the hospital. Fast forward to recently, I was suffering from severe headaches. While deployed I encountered a traumatic brain injury when an indirect round landed on the living quarters I was sleeping in. For about three years I was receiving medicine from my doctor to treat my headaches. Treating them as in "here you go, take these meds when you have a headache". The meds worked for a bit but it was only a matter of time before my body became immune to it. The headaches came back and the meds increased. Before I knew it, I was taking two to three different meds for my headaches alone. I started acupuncture about 3 months ago. It has been amazing ever since. My headaches are completely gone. For a few weeks I was still in disbelief that my headaches were actually gone so I told Anjelika I no longer had them to see if they came back. Surprisingly they didn't. Acupuncture has also changed other difficulties I was having and I plan to use acupuncture for my future issues as well.
